We give a new proof of Cartan's fixed point theorem using topological fixed point theory. For an odd dimensional, simply connected and complete manifold having non-positive curvature, we further prove that every isometry with finite order…

Let $K$ be a number field and $\phi\in K(z)$ a rational function. Let $S$ be the set of all archimedean places of $K$ and all non-archimedean places associated to the prime ideals of bad reduction for $\phi$. We prove an upper bound for…

In this paper, for any Shimura datum $(G,\mathcal{D})$ satisfying reasonable conditions so that many interesting cases satisfy, we prove some finiteness theorems for any graded vector space consisting of automorphic forms on $\mathcal{D}$…

We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup of Aut(S) generated by all its algebraic subgroups is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups,…

We describe the full automorphism group of the directed reduced power graph and the undirected reduced power graph of a finite group. We compute the full automorphism groups of these graphs of several classes of finite groups. Also, we…

The special uniformity of zeta functions claims that pure non-abelian zeta functions coincide with group zeta functions associated to the special linear groups. Naturally associated are three aspects, namely, the analytic, arithmetic, and…

We develop the orbit method in a quantitative form, along the lines of microlocal analysis, and apply it to the analytic theory of automorphic forms. Our main global application is an asymptotic formula for averages of Gan--Gross--Prasad…

We establish links between countable algebraically closed graphs and the endomorphisms of the countable universal graph $R$. As a consequence we show that, for any countable graph $\Gamma$, there are uncountably many maximal subgroups of…

We call a finite group G ultrasolvable if it has a characteristic subgroup series whose factors are cyclic. It was shown by Durbin--McDonald that the automorphism group of an ultrasolvable group is supersolvable. The converse statement was…

A classical result of Schur of 1904 shows that an infinite (discrete) group $E$ with finite central quotient $E/Z(E)$ should have finite derived subgroup $[E,E]$. Schur's Theorem has many important consequences, which have been extensively…

This thesis explores an exotic class of M-theory compactifications in which the compact manifold is taken to be a Calabi-Yau five-fold. The resulting effective theory is a one-dimensional N=2 super-mechanics model that exhibits peculiar…

We first give a relative flexible process to construct torsion cohomology classes for Shimura varieties of Kottwitz-Harris-Taylor type with coefficient in a non too regular local system. We then prove that associated to each torsion…

We study non-autonomous conformal iterated function systems, with finite or countably infinite alphabet alike. These differ from the usual (autonomous) iterated function systems in that the contractions applied at each step in time are…

Given a parameter dependent fixed point equation $x = F(x,u)$, we derive an abstract compactness principle for the fixed point map $u \mapsto x^*(u)$ under the assumptions that (i) the fixed point equation can be solved by the contraction…

We give a new proof of the finiteness of maximal arithmetic reflection groups. Our proof is novel in that it makes no use of trace formulas or other tools from the theory of automorphic forms and instead relies on the arithmetic Margulis…

In this work, we prove that every SFT, sofic shift, and strongly irreducible shift on locally finite groups has strong dynamical properties. These properties include that every sofic shift is an SFT, every SFT is strongly irreducible, every…

Motivated by classic theorems of Thompson and Berger on the Fitting height of finite groups with a fixed-point-free automorphism of coprime order, we conjecture that, for every non-zero polynomial $f(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + \cdots + a_d x^d \in…

The Automorphism Theorem, discovered first by Jung in 1942, asserts that if $k$ is a field, then every polynomial automorphism of $k^2$ is a finite product of linear automorphisms and automorphisms of the form $(x,y)\mapsto(x+p(y), y) $ for…

It is a well-known fact, that the greatest ambit for a topological group $G$ is the Samuel compactification of $G$ with respect to the right uniformity on $G.$ We apply the original destription by Samuel from 1948 to give a simple…

Compact sets in constructive mathematics capture our intuition of what computable subsets of the plane (or any other complete metric space) ought to be. A good representation of compact sets provides an efficient means of creating and…
